Objective.本研究探讨了屏幕时间和抑郁症和焦虑症的症状之间的关系，在一个大的社区样本的加拿大青年。参与者是2482名说英语的7至12年级学生。2006年至2010年收集的横截面数据作为饮食和青少年生活方式研究（真实的）研究的一部分。心理健康状况进行了评估，使用儿童抑郁量表和多维焦虑量表的儿童-10。屏幕时间（小时/天的电视，视频游戏，和电脑）进行了评估，使用休闲时间久坐活动量表。线性多元回归表明，在控制了年龄、性别、种族、父母教育程度、地理区域、体力活动和BMI后，筛查时间与抑郁（β = 0.23，p < 0.001）和焦虑（β = 0.07，p < 0.01）的严重程度相关。玩电子游戏（beta = 0.13，p <0.001）和使用电脑（beta = 0.17，p < 0.001）与更严重的抑郁症状相关，但不包括看电视。玩电子游戏（beta = 0.11，p < 0.001）与焦虑的严重程度相关。屏幕时间可能代表青少年焦虑和抑郁的风险因素或标志物。未来的研究需要确定减少屏幕时间是否有助于预防和治疗这些青少年精神疾病。皇冠版权所有（C）2015由爱思唯尔公司出版保留所有权利。
Objective. This study examined the relationships between screen time and symptoms of depression and anxiety in a large community sample of Canadian youth.Method. Participants were 2482 English-speaking grade 7 to 12 students. Cross-sectional data collected between 2006 and 2010 as part of the Research on Eating and Adolescent Lifestyles (REAL) study were used. Mental health status was assessed using the Children's Depression Inventory and the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children-10. Screen time (hours/day of TV, video games, and computer) was assessed using the Leisure-Time Sedentary Activities questionnaire.Results. Linear multiple regressions indicated that after controlling for age, sex, ethnicity, parental education, geographic area, physical activity, and BMI, duration of screen time was associated with severity of depression (beta = 023, p < 0.001) and anxiety (beta = 0.07, p < 0.01). Video game playing (beta = 0.13, p < .001) and computer use (beta = 0.17, p < 0.001) but not TV viewing were associated with more severe depressive symptoms. Video game playing (beta = 0.11, p < 0.001) was associated with severity of anxiety.Conclusion. Screen time may represent a risk factor or marker of anxiety and depression in adolescents. Future research is needed to determine if reducing screen time aids the prevention and treatment of these psychiatric disorders in youth.
